Windows 10: Can I purchase a Windows 10 OEM license for my business?

One of my colleague owns a business with about 8 computers.


Can I purchase an OEM license instead of a retail license which cost almost triple the price?


Currently those machines are running Linux and I would like to switch them to Windows.

Windows 10 OEM Licensing

Hi

I have a few questions about windows 10 OEM licensing:

1. Is OEM licensing acceptable for business use?
2. What restrictions does OEM licensing have other than the transfer rights?
3. Can the OS be reloaded without breaching the license agreement, and if so, can I also replace the HDD with an SSD?
4. What other hardware upgrades can be done under OEM licensing?
5. What would be a breach of OEM licensing?
6. What benefits would a business get if they move to Microsoft 365 vs OEM?

Thanks in advace

for office use purpose .

 

OEM License and Paper License for office/Small Business use

OEM licenses are fine for business use. Volume License is really an upgrade that enrolls you into a sort of subscription for new releases of Windows 10 client, but thats kinda murky now with the new servicing model. The OEM license should be more than
sufficient without the purchase of a Volume License.

Keep in mind, I think you need to enroll them within 90 days of activating Windows 10 in order for it to be affordable to join Volume LIcensing.
